Jessica McLarty

Jessica Ann McLarty was born on June 21, 2003, to Gary and Bonni (Droegmiller) McLarty in Sioux City, Iowa. On August 17, 2005, when Jessi was just two years old, she and her sisters, Tasha and Sara, moved to Woodbine to live with Dave and Becky Cohrs and their family. Jessi attended school in Woodbine and completed her formal education this May.

Jessi faithfully attended the Followers of Christ Church and enjoyed the church campgrounds. She loved to visit and had a way of connecting with everyone, young and old. Jessi loved to ride her bike, swim and go fishing. She enjoyed building with legos and coloring. Jessi also liked to travel. Her favorite trip was to the Jolly Rogers Pirate Ship, The Calypso, in the Ozarks. She was a member of the Woodbine Saddle Club. Jessi really didn’t like the word “work” but truly enjoyed helping. She was a Godsend for many.

Jessi went to be with her Heavenly Father on July 14, 2021, at CHI Community Memorial Hospital in Missouri Valley, Iowa at the age of 18 years and 23 days.

Jessi was preceded in death by her mother and her grandparents.
